Un-scheduled Interuptions

We interrupt this scheduled inchie blog for a not-so-brief word from our sponsor...... (SIGH!). This weeks inchie is perfection in timing for sure. This last week at work has been rough. I have been so worn out all week feels like I have been chasing my tail. Can you relate?

Some of you might (or might not) know that for years my poor son has slept in the laundry room cuz our house is so small. Recently, I have been having a friend building an addition onto my house. Lately he has slacked off and not been around. Wasting my time, money and all the work that he has already done; which was not a lot.

After weeks of nothing, one of my Son's friends, Philip, mentioned that his Dad would have had the addition done by now! Excuse me....WHAT?!? Yep his Dad built their house, porch, deck and shed! (SIGH!) Well, all of this happened last week and this weekend a friend of Philips Dad came over and worked on the unfinished roof. Good news, he finished most of the roof and will come by on Tuesday to finish it. YAY! Bad news?!? (SIGH) the "friend" who was building the addition used short nails on the roof and the siding. Which means that if someone on the Mountain was to fart loudly the roof would prolly blow off.

So he took care of the roof and will come back and take care of the siding. Which is good, and because they knew I kinda got snuckered by my "friend" they are not charging me very much for the work they are gonna do. I pray that God blesses them for helping me out. So now the addition is back on schedule and my stress level is lowering! MAJOR YAY!!!!!

Then, just after I finished this weeks inchie I went to work on a commission piece. After a few minutes I had to go outside to get something. A few minutes later my son ran outside and told me that our newest cat, Kiki swallowed the bead work I had been working on. When I got there I found out she also swallowed the needle as well. Did I say that my stress level is lowering? (SIGH)

So now we are watching her, praying for her and keeping an eye on her. I called the vet and found out that it would cost around $1000 to have her seen and have surgery to get the needle out, and they don't take payments. So needless to say we are keeping an eye on her and if she is in distress we will take her to the vet but as for now we are just waiting for her to go to the bathroom. Now I have learned to never leave my crafts unattended. (SIGH)

Now back to our regularly scheduled inchie blog post..... This weeks theme over at Every Inchie Monday is schedule. My first thought, with all I have to do is a "To do list" I used 3 colors of Delicas. Hope you like it and don't forget to fly on over to EIM and check out all the awesome work by those talented ladies.

Oh my! What a time you are having of it :-(. I can related as I still remember my last foray into the world of extensions....a 6 week job ended up taking 11 months due to my builders going bust and it taking forever to find someone to over the remaining work. Hope your cat comes through this "curiosity" adventure!!! I love the beading BTW :-)

Wow, you have had some rough times and yet you move one foot in front of the other and keep going. Good for you. I forgot to put away my knitting last week and my cat tore apart a cowl that I was knitting in very fine Quiviut (about $70 an ounce, which I would never pay for yarn, it was a gift). My fault for leaving it out though. We learn. Maybe :) Nice work though!

I've been coming here every day to see any Kiki news. Sooo glad 4 weeks on, she's ok. Fingers hugely crossed. Hoping 9 lives are in action.See if you can pull the needle out of the couch with a magnet.

Your Inchie is magnificent!! Wonderful beading! Now, my goodness, all that has been going on in your life! Whew! I do hope and pray for things to get better. And I'm hoping that Kiki didn't swallow that needle! I tell you, animals are just like children, if you don't want them to find something, they will!!! Anyway, hang in there kiddo, we're all rooting for ya! Have a blessed weekend! :0) Share Humanity

JL, yes please to the less stressful week!!! LOL I so need one of those! HAHA and last night 5 days after she swallowed it, the needle thread and beads came out. But we almost had another incident when the dogs tried to eat them! But all is good. Thanks for your comments and well wishes.

About Me

Hi, Welcome to my blog. I am a single mother of 2 fantastic kids. I love to play with beads & have since I was about 3 years old. They have been my saving grace & my sanity checker ;). I am kinda opinionated & say what i think. I hope to have more for you to see & read as the days go on. Until then, if you have a comment or something that you want to see on here let me know. Take care & God bless.
